SANITARY  VALUE  IN  VENTILA- 
TION. 

“ Ramsey  County  Court  House  and  City  Hall  1 
Special  Commission,  > 

St.  Paul,  Minn.,  Jan.  9th,  1890.  ) 

It  gives  me  pleasure  to  state  that  the  90  ventilating 
Grates  furnished  by  you  for  the  New  Court  House  and 
City  Hall  at  this  place  have  not  only  met  our  expecta- 
tions, but  have  far  exceeded  our  anticipations  in  the 
amount  both  of  heat  and  ventilation  they  furnish  to  the 
immense  structure  in  which  they  are  used. 

Very  Respectfully,  David  Day.” 

The  Grates  furnished  for  the  New  Vork  State  Institu- 
tion for  the  Blind,  at  Batavia,  fully  meet  all  required  of 
them. — Dr.  M.  \V.  Townsend,  Bergen,  N.  Y. 

The  air  of  the  four  Hospital  wards  supplied  with  these 
Grates  is  always  pure  and  fresh. — Henry  M.  Hurd, 
Med.  .Supt.  Eastern  Michigan  Asylum,  Pontiac,  Mich. 

The  five  Jackson  Ventilating  Grates  used  in  the 
Hospital  and  Nursery  of  the  “Retreat”  and  children’s 
room  of  the  “ Day  Nursery”  are  powerful  heaters  and 
admirable  ventilators.  I think  they  are  the  best  grate, 
where  heat  and  change  of  air  are  desired,  I ever  saw 
used. — Hon.  Joseph  Perkins,  Chairman  Ohio  State 
Hoard  of  Charities,  Cleveland,  Ohio. 

The  extraordinary  freshness  and  purity  of  the  air,'  and 
withal  so  pleasantly  heated,  is  so  obvious  as  to  excite  the 
attention  of  all  and  call  forth  their  favorable  comments. — 
Pres.  Ja.mes  L.  Cabell,  University  of  Virginia. 

Cambridge,  Mass.,  Feb.  21,  1890. 

t am  more  than  pleased  with  your  Grates.  I have 
three  of  the  ‘Concord’  pattern,  each  heating  a room 
25X22J^  ft.,  the  rooms  being  one  above  another.  To-day 
the  thermometer  was  at  6°  in  the  morning,  1 5°  at  noon 
and  10®  at  8 P.  M.,  with  a high  N.  \V.  wind,  and  without 
any  other  heat  my  study  has  been  comfortable  all  day 
and  I have  only  touched  the  fire  once.  There  is  no  fur- 
nace heat  either  in  this  room  nor  in  the  adjoining  hall. 

One  of  the  upper  Bed-rooms  has  been  a sort  of  hos- 
pital for  two  months  with  three  children  successively  pass- 
ing through  “ grip  ” and  measles.  I don’t  know  what  we 
should  have  done  at  all  without  your  Grate.  'I'he  air  of 
the  room  has  been  iibsoluttly  pure  all  the  time,  the  win- 
ilow.H  have  hardly  ever  been  opened,  and  nowhere  has 
there  been  a draft. — Wm.  Jami-us,  M.  1).,  Prof,  of  J’hilos- 
ophy.  Harvard  College. 


HEATING  ON  TWO  FLOORS. 

My  two  Parlors,  each  14x16  ft.,  and  a Bed-room  above, 
have  been  heated  by  one  Grate,  and  with  less  fuel  than 
would  be  required  with  stoves. — S.  R.  Goddard,  Lock- 
port,  N.  Y. 

The  Ventilating  Grate  in  my  Dining-room  heats  also 
the  Nursery  on  the  floor  above.  Both  rooms  are  20  ft. 
square,  and  are  on  the  northwest  corner  of  my  house,  on 
the  brow  of  Lenox  Hill.— Everetp  P.  Wheeler,  New 
York  City. 

One  of  the  Ventilating  Grates  is  in  the  front  Parlor  and 
warms  the  room  above.  The  other  is  on  the  north  side 
of  the  Sitting-room  (18  ft.  square)  and  warms  two  rooms 
above. — B.  F.  Moore,  Pres.  La  Belle  Wagon  Works, 
Fond  du  Lac,  Wis. 

My  Oliver  Grate  abundantly  heats  the  Dining-room 
Chamber  and  adjoining  halls  and  stairway. — D.  F. 
Barker,  Concord,  Mass. 

The  Jackson  Grate  heats  my  Library  and  a Bed- 
chamber over  it,  both  exposed  to  the  north  and  west. 
'I'he  rooms  are  also  well  ventilated. — Hon.  (Judge)  Wm. 
McClean,  Gettysburg,  Pa. 

I have  simply  to  say  that  the  Grate  is  splendid,  and  ^ 
I regret  that  I used  any  other  Grate  than  yours.  Com- 
pared with  it  the  Baltimore  heater  is  an  abomination. — 
E.  CoRT  Williams,  Esq.,  Cincinnati,  Ohio. 

I am  heating  a Parlor  16x18  ft.,  a Library  11x14  ft., 
and  have  an  air  pipe  leading  to  two  rooms  above,  either 
of  which  I have  been  able  to  heat  in  good  shape  during 
the  coldest  weather,  by  closing  the  register  to  one  of 
them. — M.  Schenck,  C.  E.  (New  York  State  Canals, 
Engineering  Department),  Albany,  N.  Y. 

'I'he  Grate  in  my  Sitting-room  heats  also  my  Dining- 
room and  a room  on  the  floor  above.  It  uses  about  the 
same  fuel  as  an  ordinary  base  burner. — A.  F.  EnY, 
Cashier  Elk  Co.  Bank,  Howard,  Kansas. 

I have  three  Jackson  Ventilating  Grates,  one  in  a west 
room  12)4  ft-  X 28  ft.,  one  in  an  east  room  14  ft.  x 24  ft., 
and  one  in  a southeast  room  13  ft.  x 17  ft.,  the  latter  open 
to  the  hall.  Each  Grate  heats  also  the  room  over  it. 
Our  weather  has  been  some  days  at  10°  and  20°  below 
zero. — Hon.  Myron  A.  Mckee,  Richfield  .Springs,  N.  Y. 

'I'he  Grate  is  heating  my  Dining-room,  24x16  ft.,  on  the 
lower  floor,  and  a Bed-chamber  of  the  same  size  on  the 
second  floor.  'I'he  rooms  are  exposed  on  the  north,  east 
and  .south. — Robert  J.  Belt,  Wells  Whi])  Co.,  Wells- 
ville.  Pa. 


ITS  WORK  IN  COLD  CLIMATES. 

With  the  thermom'eter  ranging  from  zero  to  30°  below, 
the  Grate  has  thoroughly  heated  and  ventilated  our 
.Sitting-room,  24  ft.  x 18  ft.  x 14  ft. — S.  B.  Amory,  Fond 
du  Lac,  Wis. 

From  loth  of  January  till  spring  the  Ventilating  Grate 
alone  heated  my  Sitting-room,  with  large  bay  window, 
and  Bed-room  off  Sitting-room.  It  has  been  a very  cold 
winter,  but  I have  not  used  a furnace. — Chas.  A.  Black- 
man, Wholesale  Lumber,  West  Bay  City,  Mich. 

Your  Grate  in  my  house  at  Waddington,  on  the  right 
bank  of  the  St.  Lawrence  River,  latitude  45°  north,  h'eats 
a room  15  ft.  X 18  ft.,  with  large  bay  window,  and  a room 
of  the  same  size  above.  To-day  (Feb.  6th,  1885),  the 
thermometer  outside  marks  iS°  below  zero ; the  room 
where  the  Grate  is  placed  is  at  a summer  temperature. — 
H.  W.  Pra'TT  (Collector’s  Office,  Custom  House),  Ogdens- 
burg,  N.  Y. 

'Phe  Ventilating  Grate,  during  the  entire  winter,  has 
warmed  and  ventilated  our  Sitting-room  (18  ft.  x 15  ft., 
II  ft.  high)  and  a Bed-room  above  12  ft.  x 12  ft. — Charles 
Churchill  (Clerk  of  Circuit  Court),  Waupaca,  Wiscon- 
sin. 

As  a heater  and  ventilator  it  could  not  be  better.  We 
are  lieating  with  it  our  Office,  a large  and  exposed  room. 
In  our  coldest  weather  the  Grate  has  capacity  for  heating 
more,  if  we  needed  it. — Hungarian  Roller  Flower  Mills, 
Waterloo,  N.  Y. 

The  room  heated  by  your  Grate  alone  is  17  ft.  x 19  ft. 
X 10  ft.  6 in.  and  is  exposed  on  the  north,  the  east  and 
south. — J.  R.  Eaton,  Orillia,  Ontario. 

The  Concord  Grate  thoroughly  heated  my  Dining-room, 
22  x 16  X II  ft.,  when  the  thermometer  registered  35° 
below  zero. — Victor  S.  Benedict,  Titusville,  Pa. 

You  Grate  heated  my  room  25  x 20  ft.  perfectly  in  the 
coldest  day  this  winter,  25°  below  zero. — J.  A.  Bullen, 
Leavenworth,  Kas. 

'I’he  Jackson  Grate  heated  my  room  (17  ft.  x 14  ft.)  so 
that  we  had  no  trouble  in  keeping  plants  thrifty,  with  the 
mercury  25°  below  zero. — F.  B.  Mills,  Editor  Lincoln 
(///.)  Herald. 

Your  Grate  heated  a room  24  x 20  x 1 1 ft.,  with  a north 
and  east  e.xposure,  very  comfortably  in  our  coldest 
weather,  which  has  been  from  1 5°  to  20°  below  zero. — 
W.M.  Fisher,  Utica,  N.  Y. 


ITS  ECONOMY  OF  FUEL. 

About  250  bushels  of  coal  have  more  thoroughly  heat- 
ed my  rooms  this  winter  in  your  Grate  than  550  bushels 
did  last  winter  in  a stove  and  an  old-fashioned  Grate. — 
\Vm.  1..  Harkf.r,  Koonsville,  Ind. 

The  amount  of  fuel  used  in  your  Grate  is  no  greater 
than  that  used  in  the  Argand  Base-burner  on  the  other 
side  of  my  house.  The  Grate  heats  two  rooms. — II.  E. 
.M11.1..S,  St.  Louis,  Mo. 

The  Oliver  Grate  heats  my  I’arlor,  16  ft.  x 16  ft.  and 
Chamber  over  14  ft.  x 14  ft.  Does  not  use  half  as  much 
fuel  as  the  ordinary  Grate  I had. — Titos.  F.  Byrnes, 
Emporia,  Kas. 

ton  of  fuel  lasted  between  five  and  six  weeks  in  mid- 
winter in  your  Grate,  heating  a room  21  ft.  x 15  ft.  x 1 1 
ft. — B.  Bowman,  Chambersburg,  Pa. 

I have  run  the  Grate  night  and  day  for  four  and  one- 
half  months,  heating  a room  24  ft.  x 18  ft.  at  times  when 
the  thermometer  was  30°  below  zero,  and  have  not  used 
all  of  the  ^}i  tons  of  hard  coal  I bought  in  November. — 
.S.  B.  .Amorv,  Fond  du  Lac,  Wis. 

The  Grate  is  in  the  office  on  the  fourth  door,  northwest 
corner  of  the  building,  a room  21  ft.  long,  10}^  wide 
X \ 2%  ft.  high.  There  is  no  other  heat  in  the  room.  In 
the  two  and  one-half  months  1%  tons  Cannel  coal 
have  been  used. — Fredk.  Loeser  & Co.,  Brooklyn,  N.  V. 

My  office  is  in  size  28  ft.  x 16  ft.  I have  used  red  ash 
(Schuylkill)  coal,  and  less  than  half  a ton  a month,  and 
have  more  heat  than  is  desired. — 11.  K.  Buckwalter, 
Conveyancer,  West  Chester,  Pa. 

The  consumption  of  fuel  in  your  Grate  is  less  than  in 
the  one  I removed,  the  temperature  in  the  room  where 
the  old  Grate  was  is  much  higher,  and  a room  on  the 
floor  above  is  warmed  with  the  extra  heat,  whilst  the 
room  is  free  from  drafts. — C.  W.  Body  (.Sugar  Creek  Salt 
Works),  Canal  Dover,  Ohio. 

A room  22  ft.  .\  18  ft.  and  a Dressing-room  adjoining, 
12  ft.  X 8 ft.,  have  been  thoroughly  warmed  day  and  night 
by  two  scuttles  of  soft  coal  per  diem.  Two  tons  of  Briar 
Hill  coal  have  been  used  in  four  months. — Mrs.  Morse 
Stewart,  Detroit,  Mich. 


USE  OF  GRATE  FOR  FALL  AND 
SPRING  HEATING. 

We  use  a Grate  for  fall  and  spring  heating,  and  it  saved 
building  a fire  in  our  furnace  last  fall  until  1 lecember,  and 
during  the  fall  it  was  much  more  satisfactory  for  heating 
the  house  than  the  furnace. — J.  E.  Roiiers,  Binghamton, 
N.  Y. 

In  the  spring  and  fall  I have  no  difficulty  in  heating  my 
Library,  Parlor,  Dining-room  and  Halls  up-stairs  and 
down,  and  thus  dispense  with  the  use  of  my  furnace,  ex- 
cept during  the  winter  months.  The  Grate  is  in  the  corner 
of  the  Hall. — J.  Morrison  (of  A.  T.  Morrison  (.S;  Bros.), 
Braintree,  Mass. 

In  the  fall  and  spring,  when  I do  not  run  my  furnace,  I 
use  the  Grate  for  heating  three  rooms,  one  16  ft.  x 16  ft  , 
one  15  ft.  X 15  ft.,  and  one  12  ft.  x 13  ft.,  all  with  north 
and  west  exposure. — George  H.  Siowell,  Claremont, 
N.  H. 

One  Grate  is  in  my  .Stair-case  Hall  in  a four-s'ory  house, 
and  it  serves  the  admirable  purpose  of  tempering  the  air 
of  the  whole  house  in  fall  and  spring  without  furnace 
heat. — Frank  E.  D.avis,  Archt.,  Baltimore,  Md. 

Until  we  started  the  steam  heat  in  November  the  Grate 
kept  sufficiently  warm  the  Sitting-room,  Parlor,  Main  Hall 
and  Bed-room. — Frank  Hii.l,  Tilton,  N.  H. 

We  enjoy  the  Grate  spring  and  fall,  not  using  the  boiler 
over  four  months.  The  saving  of  fuel  is  very  marked.- — 
Isaiah  Dow,  Woolen  Mills,  Hinesburg,  Vt. 

We  use  the  Veirtilating  Grate  alone  for  heating  during 
October  and  November.  It  is  a marvel  of  perfection. — 
Dr.  F.  M.  Sisson,  Williamsport,  Pa. 

My  furnace  is  kept  with  a very  small  fire,  as  the  Jackson 
Grate  furnishes  so  much  heat.  I believe  I economize 
greatly  in  fuel  by  use  of  the  Grate  in  connection  with  the 
furnace,  as  has  been  illustrated  by  the  experience  of  a 
friend,  who  has  found  it  necessary  to  buy  more  than  double 
the  amount  of  fuel  I have  to  heat  the  same  number  of 
cubic  feet  of  space. — J.  H.  Penniman,  Battle  Creek, 
Mich. 


WITH  NATURAL  GAS. 

My  client,  for  whom  I bought  the  Jackson  N'enlilating 
Grate,  says  it  is  wonderful  how  well  it  heats  and  ventilates. 
He  has  heated  the  .Sitting-room,  15  x 18  ft..  Dining-room 
12  X 16  ft.,  warmed  a Bed-room  on  the  first  floor  15  x 16 
ft.  and  a Bed-room  over  the  Sitting-room  15  x 17 
ft.,  with  one  Grate.  The  fuel  used  is  Natural  Gas. — 
Wai'son  a.  Brown,  .'\rcht.,  Wellesville,  N.  V. 

We  use  Natural  Gas  as  fuel,  and  the  Grate  heats  three 
rooms  on  the  first  floor  and  three  rooms  on  the  second. 
The  thermometer  has  been  20°  below  zero  this  winter. — 
Jacoi!  Rauber,  Jr.,  Wellesville,  N.  V. 

The  Ventilating  Grate  gives  me  the  greatest  satRfac- 
tion  ; more,  in  fact,  than  any  other  heating  apparatus  1 
have  ever  tried.  I use  Natural  Gas  for  fuel,  and  in  the 
coldest  weather  we  have  had  these  two  winters  I found  no 
difiiculty  in  maintaining  a temiierature  above  70'’  in  two 
good-sized  rooms  down-stairs,  and  more  than  65°  in  my 
Bed-room  just  above.  .\s  a ventilator  the  Grate  surpasses 
anything  I have  ever  seen.  It  keeps  the  air  in  my  rooms 
as  pure  and  fresh  as  if  the  windows  and  doors  were  wide 
o])en,  day  and  night.  I am  (|uite  satisfied  it  has  saved 
me  from  many  a “ home-made ’’  cold. — Re\'.  J ames  J. 
McTiciik,  Rector  St.  Malachy's  Church,  Pittsburgh,  Pa. 

'I'he  rooms  where  the  two  Grates  are  placed  are  each 
18x17  ft.  Communicating  with  these  by  the  hot  air 
supply  from  below,  are  the  following  rooms  on  the  second 
floor,  viz.:  one  room  12  x 14  ft.,  two  rooms  each  r2  x 16  ft., 
one  lox  S ft.,  one  14  x 12  ft.,  and  a bath-room  14  x 12  ft. 
In  the  whole  upper  story  I have  not  had  a fire  lighted  this 
winter;  in  fact,  no  room  on  that  floor,  exce))I  the  12  x 14 
ft.  room,  has  a grate  in  it.  We  have  found  the  up-stairs 
always  warm  and  well-ventilated,  and  very  regular  in  tem- 
perature, and  we  could  have  had  it  much  warmtr  if  we 
had  wished  it.  We  use  Natural  Gas  for  fuel  and  have 
never  used  the  full  supirly.  The  ventilation  is  splendid. 
With  windows  and  doors  tightly  closed  we  do  not  notice 
the  slightest  smell  of  gas  fumes  or  impure  air. — H.  Jarvis, 
Sharpsburg,  Pa.

COLUMBIA  Uwi/BASJTY 


IT  is  acknowledged  by  all  authorities  on  the  subject  that  the  only 
healthful  fires  are  those  of  the  open  fire-place.  Apart  from  the 
cheerful,  e.xhilarating  influence  of  the  open  fire  on  the  household 
gathered  about  its  hospitable  hearth,  it  is  well  known  that  radiant 
heat  direct  from  the  surface  of  burning  fuel  possesses  a comfort  and 
health-maintaining  power  that  no  other  form  of  heat  can  supply.  For 
this  reason  the  open  grate  has  always  been  a favorite  in  our  homes, 
and  it  is  only  because  in  the  ordinary  form  it  is  such  a great  con- 
sumer of  fuel,  and  so  feeble  in  its  heating  capacity,  that  it  has  been 
supplanted  by  other  more  economical  kinds  of  heating  apparatus. 

In  the  construction  of  the  Jackson  Ventilating  Grate  it  will  be 
seen  that  this  defect  has  been  avoided,  and  an  economical  method  of 
heating  has  been  secured,  without  the  least  impairment  of  the 
properties  of  the  open  fire-place.  The  Jackson  Ventilating  Grate  has  all 
the  e.xposed  fire  surface  of  the  common  grate,  thus  being  unsurpassed 
in  the  amount  of  its  radiant  heat,  as  it  is  unequaled  by  any  in  its 
amount  of  conserved  heat. 

Another  charm  of  the  open  fire-place  is  in  its  office  as  a ventilator 
of  dwellings,  (icn.  Morin  says  that  in  a room  of  20  feet  square  and  12 
feet  high,  heated  by  an  open  grate,  “ with  a good  fire,  the  air  would  be 
removed  four  (jr  five  times  an  hour  with  a moderate  draught  of  the 
chimney,  and  six  or  eight  times  with  a blazing  fire.”  How  utterly 
impossible  is  it  in  a room  thus  heated  to  suffer  from  vitiated  or  impure 
air!  Ilut,  unfortunately,  with  the  common  grate,  the  supply  of  air 
to  meet  this  draught  must  enter  the  building  through  the  cracks  and 
crevices  surrounding  the  doors  and  windows,  and  it  comes  into  the 
room  at  times  freezing  cold  from  an  atmosphere  many  degrees  below 
zero. 

Think  of  the  fact  that  in  a room  thus  heated  with  a blazing  fire, 
38,400  cubic  feet  of  frigid  atmosphere  enters  every  hour,  and  must  be 


heated — as  far  as  it  can  be  heated — by  per  cent,  of  the  whole 
heat  product  of  the  fuel  employed,  whilst  ^ of  this  much-to-be-desired 
heat  passes  uselessly  out  of  the  chimney  ! 

With  the  Jackson  Ventilating  Grate,  the  doors  and  windows  might 
be  made,  if  possible,  air-tight  by  weather-strips  and  double  sash  ; yet 
the  air  of  the  rooms  would  be  kept  constantly  fresh  and  pure,  being 
changed  entirely  every  twenty  or  thirty  minutes  by  a supply  of  invig- 
orating, pleasant  and  warm  air  from  the  heat-saving  and  ventilating 
chambers  of  the  Grate.  Even  if  doors  and  windows  are  badly  fitted, 
when  rooms  are  heated  by  this  Grate  there  will  be  no  perceptible 
draughts  from  them,  as  the  room  is  kept  constantly  filled  with  warm 
air  from  the  inflowing  current  from  the  Grate,  that  never  ceases  while 
there  is  fire  in  it.  Air  being  thus  supplied  in  sufficient  quantity  to 
meet  the  draught  of  the  chimney,  in  cases  where  the  latter  is  defective, 
there  is  much  less  liability  to  smoke,  an  object  also  partly  secured  in 
the  mechanical  construction  of  the  Grate. 

A valuable  feature  in  these  Grates  is  that,  in  consequence  of  the 
circulation  of  a current  of  air  over  the  inner  surfaces  of  the  iron  shell 
which  forms  the  back  and  the  sides  of  the  basket  in  which  the  fire 
rests,  these  surfaces  cannot  be  warped  and  broken  by  the  action  of 
the  fire,  and  the  Grate  thus  is  practically  indestructible  and  will  last  a 
lifetime.  It  is  a well-known  fact  that  all  ordinary  forms  of  grates 
soon  burn  out  and  need  repairs,  and  after  a winter’s  use  their  linings 
are  so  disfigured  with  the  action  of  the  fire  that  they  present  unsightly 
niches  in  summer,  which  are  usually  hidden  by  so-called  summer- 
pieces,  that  impede  in  all  cases,  and  frequently  prevent  entirely',  the 
ventilating  effects  of  the  open  grate.  In  the  Heat-Saving  and  Venti- 
lating Grate,  a simple  coating  in  summer  of  the  smooth  iron  back  of 
the  fire-place  with  British  luster  renders  it  presentable  in  appearance, 
and  does  not  interfere  with  its  office  as  a constant  ventilator. 


Patterns. 


The  Ileat-Saving  and  Ventilating  Grates  are  made  in  two  dis- 
tinct forms,  as  herewith  described. 

1ST.  “Concord”  Pattern. 

This  form  of  the  Heat-Saving  and  Ventilating  Grate  is  con- 
structed for  uniformly  heating  and  ventilating  large  rooms,  and  those 
that  are  in  exposed  situations,  as  are  those  in  most  country  or 
village  houses,  and  which  the  common  form  of  grate,  with  an  equal 
consumption  of  fuel,  would  be  entirely  inadequate  to  heat.  It  is 
adapted  for  burning  hard  or  soft  coal  or  wood.  It  has  the  full  open 
front  or  fire-place,  and  the  beauty,  cheerful  effect  and  full  radiating 
power  of  the  ordinary  grate,  combined  with  more  than  three-fold  the 
heating  capacity  of  the  common  grate. 

The  construction  of  the  grate  is  such  that  it  is  a constant 
ventilator  in  all  seasons.  In  winter,  with  a full  fire  and  with  the 
doors  and  windows  effectually  closed,  the  whole  atmospheric  con- 
tents of  large  rooms  are  replaced  by  pure  warm  air  every  twenty  or 
thirty  minutes.  For  bedrooms,  or  for  rooms  communicating  with 
bedrooms,  these  Grates  provide  the  most  perfect  automatic  ventila- 
tion, maintaining  a purity  of  atmosphere  in  them  not  sensibly  less 
than  that  of  the  open  air,  with  the  entire  absence  of  the  unpleasant 
and  unhealthful  draughts  that  accompany  the  usual  modes  of  ven- 
tilation. 

2D.  “Oliver”  Pattern. 

This  form  of  the  Ileat-Saving  and  \Tntilating  Grate  is  so 
arranged  that  the  heat  conserved  in  the  chambers  surrounding  the 
fire  can  at  pleasure  be  turned,  in  whole  or  part,  into  a room  on  the 
floor  above  that  in  which  the  Grate  is  placed,  or  may  be  added  to 
the  full  radiant  heat  of  the  open  fire  to  rapidly  and  thoroughly  heat 
the  room  containing  the  Grate.  It  will  thus  comfortably  heat  two 
ordinary  rooms  in  the  most  severe  winter  weather  ; or  will  thor- 
oughly heat  a large  room  below,  and  comfortably  warm  a chamber 
above,  thus  doing  the  work  of  three  or  more  ordinary  grates  with 
the  fuel  expenditure  and  care  of  one.

Description  of  Finish. 

(1)  Lnstered  finish  is  that  given  to  ordinary  stoves.  It  is 
especially  adapted  for  office  grates  where  utility  chiefly  is  the  thing 
desired. 

(2)  Rustless  finish  is  that  produced  by  oxidizing  iron,  by  which 
the  surface  is  converted  into  the  magnetic  ( or  black ) oxide.  The 
surface  thus  treated  takes  a dead-black  hue,  which  is  pleasing  in 
appearance,  and  is  not  liable  to  change  by  use  or  exposure. 

(3)  Black  Enamel  jinish  is  an  enameled,  jet-black  glossy  sur- 
face, given  by  the  application  of  successive  coats  of  japan,  that  are 
baked  on  by  the  heat  of  an  oven  adapted  for  the  purpose.  As  the 
frames  of  the  Ventilating  Grates  are  protected  from  injury  by  out- 
door air,  this  finish  is  much  more  durable  than  in  ordinary  grates. 

(4)  Nickel-plated  finish  is  the  result  produced  by  heavily  nickel- 
plating  the  finely  crocus-polished  surface  of  the  metal,  and  there- 
after highly  polishing  the  nickel  surface.  In  designs  like  Nos.  46 
and  50  of  modeled  ornamentation  the  bas-relief  figures,  richly  shaded, 
appear  as  upon  a highly  chased  dead-silver  surface.  The  nickel- 
plate  is  far  better  than  is  usually  given. 

(5)  Electro-bro7ic:e  fiinish  is  produced  by  electro-bronze  plating 
the  highly  polished  metal.  This  finish  may  be  made  of  a dark  or  a 
light  copper-bronze  color.  The  intaglio  ornamentation  in  the  designs 
Nos.  20  to  30  are  of  a darker  shade. 

(6)  Ebony  finish.  The  appearance  of  this  finish  is  well  de- 
scribed by  its  name,  as  it  looks  like  a finely  polished  piece  of  ebony 
carved  as  per  design.  It  is  one  form  of  the  rustless  process  and  has 
the  merit  of  being  exceedingly  easy  to  keep  in  order,  as  it  will  not 
rust  nor  tarnish  even  when  exposed  to  a sea-side  atmosphere.  De- 
signs Nos.  50  and  65  are  especially  handsome  in  this  finish. 

(7)  Brass  or  bronze  finish.  These  are  solid  castings  of  either 
brass  or  bronze,  and  they  may  be,  as  directed,  finished  in  a perfect 
polish,  or  in  any  style  of  old  brass  or  antique  bronze.  I'or  dura- 
bility, elegance  of  appearance,  and  excellence  of  workmanship,  they 
are  unsurpassed. 

(8)  Silver-plate  is  well  known  to  everyone,  and  the  finish  on 
the  grate  frames  is  equal  to  that  given  the  finest  silverware.  It 
may  be  polished,  antique  or  dull  finish. 

Note.  — In  all  finishe.'.  e.xcepling  Xo.  t.  the  ba.sket  and  crown  are  nickel  plated  or 
rustless  finish,  as  preferred.  The  fender  plate  is  either  nickel  or  rustless,  and  the  fender 
bars  are  brass  or  nickel,  e.vcept  with  finish  Xo.  i.

Directions  tor  Settinor  the  Grate. 

( .See  plates  Xos.  3,  4 and  5 for  methods  of  obtaining  the  air 
supply.) 

It  is  absolutely  necessary  that  these  Grates  should  be  supplied 
with  an  inlet  for  fresh  air  from  outdoors,  else  they  are  not  superior 
to  ordinary  grates  either  as  heaters  or  ventilators,  \\4th  every 
shipment  of  grates,  or  upon  application  at  any  time,  we  mail  a 
templet  with  S|)ecial  directions  for  setting  the  Grate,  by  which  any 
ordinary  bricklayer  can  easily  perform  the  work.  No  special  flue 
need  be  built,  as  the  Grates  can  be  set  in  any  fire-place  that  can  be 
made  2.S  inches  wide  by  33  inches  high,  with  a flue  not  less  than 
S inches  by  12  inches  (or  S inches  by  8 inches,  if  for  a Concord 
( Irate). 

'I'o  those  building  new  houses,  the  plans  of  flues  given  on  Plates 
.\o.  B and  No.  7 show  how  one  of  the  Wmtilating  Grates  can  be 
arranged  to  heat  rooms  on  two  floors,  and  to  ventilate  thoroughly 
the  rooms  thus  heated  and  the  cellar  also. 

N.  B.  Never  take  the  air  supply. from  the  room  in  which  the 
Grate  is  set.  If  this  were  done,  the  Grate  would  be  no  more 
elbcient  than  a stove  for  ventilation.  Any  ap])aratu.s  that  secures 
its  air  supj)!)'  from  the  room  gives  heat  at  the  e.\i)enseof  ventilation, 
and  it  is  usually  because  the  apparatus  has  not  the  power  to  warm 
outdoor  air.

Important  Oiiestions  Briefly  Answered. 

It  is  easily  set  by  any  ordinary  workman.  Directions  for  setting 
accompany  every  Grate. 

It  needs  no  special  construction  of  flues.  One  flue  carries  smoke 
and  hot  air  pipe. 

It  can  be  set  in  any  ordinary  fire-place. 

It  works  admirably  with  any  kind  of  fuel. 

It  is  more  safe  in  wood  mantels  than  any  other  grate. 

Its  air  supply  being  not  overheated  is  far  more  pleasant  than  that 
of  a furnace. 

It  keeps  fire  from  fall  till  spring  and  will  run  over  24  hours 
without  any  attention. 

There  are  no  cold  air  drafts  as  in  ordinary  grates. 

It  can  be  arranged  to  heat  a room  back  of  the  grate. 

The  first  cost  of  a sufficient  number  of  grates  to  heat  a house  is 
less  than  a furnace  that  will  do  the  same  work. 

They  will  heat  a house  with  a far  less  expenditure  of  fuel  than  a 
furnace  requires. 

They  are  surpassed  by  none  in  the  world  in  excellence  of  finish, 
beauty  of  designs  and  perfection  of  mechanical  work. 


The  Jackson  Ventilating  Grate. 

"^IIE  adjoining  cut  shows  the  construction  of  the  heat- 
* saving  chambers  in  the  Jackson  Fire-place,  the  outer 
shell  being  in  part  broken  away.  Pure  air  from  outdoors  is 
admitted  through  the  opening  shown  in  the  base  of  the  cut, 
and  is  distributed  by  the  heated  spurs  there  represented  to 
the  chambers  directly  back  of  and  on  the  sides  of  the  fire. 
From  these  chambers  the  now  partially  heated  air  enters  the 
chamber  shown  at  the  top  of  the  cut,  through  which  the  five 
smoke-flues  are  seen  to  pass.  These  also  imparting  a large 
portion  of  their  heat  to  the  passing  current,  its  temperature 
is  raised  to  loo  degrees  or  180  degrees  (according  to  the 
intensity  of  the  fire  and  volume  of  air  admitted),  and  it  now 
passes  a current  of  pure  air  either  directly  into  the  room 
through  the  openings  shown  in  the  frieze  of  the  Grate,  or, 
at  the  option  of  the  owner,  up  the  pipe  (a  section  of  which 
is  shown  in  Plate  No.  2 with  its  valve  opened)  to  a room  on 
the  floor  above.  In  these  chambers  there  are  15^  square 
feet  of  radiating  surface.  The  chambers  are  separated  from 
the  fire  by  a cast-iron  shell  that  has  no  joints  for  leaking 
gas,  the  upper  chamber,  with  its  tubes,  being  cast  solid,  in 
one  piece,  and  this  shell,  surrounded  as  it  is  by  air-cham- 
bers, can  never  become  intensely  heated,  and  thus  liable  to 
burn  out.  The  Grate  will  accomplish  more  heating  than 
four  ordinary  grates  of  the  same  size,  will  thoroughly  heat 
large  rooms,  and  will  perfectly  ventilate  them.

I'hc  Jackson  I Icat-Saving-  and 
Ventilating  Grate. 

has  been  aptly  called  the  kings  of  the 
house,  since  it  serves  to  force  a current  of  air 
from  the  room  in  which  it  is  placed,  up  and  out  of 
the  chimney.  But  in  the  ordinary  grate  no  provis- 
ion is  made  for  introducing  fresh  air  into  the  room  “ 
to  supply  the  place  of  that  exhausted  through  the 
flue,  hence  cold  and  often  impure  air  is  drawn  in 
through  crevices  about  the  windows  and  around  the 
doors,  causing  draughts,  and  chilling  the  air  of  the 
room.  The  Ventilating  and  Ileat-Saving  Grate 
avoids  these  faults  by  the  admission  of  air  directly 
from  outdoors  through  an  inlet  into  chambers, 
under,  around,  and  above  the  lire,  whence,  after 
being  thoroughly  heated,  it  jiasses  into  the  room  as 
rapidly  as  the  exhaust  of  the  (xrate  requires.  The 
room  is  thus  kc-jit  constantly  filled  with  pure,  warm 
air,  in  every  sense  conducive  to  health  and  comfort  ; 
its  atmosphere  is  kept  at  tin  ecpiable  temperature  in 
all  its  parts,  tiiid  a very  large  percentage  of  the  lieat 
that  is  usually  lost  in  the  brick-work  of  the  fire-place, 
and  which  is  eipial  to  nearly  three  times  that  of  the 
diret  t radiation  of  the  ordinary  grate,  is  arrested 
tiiid  utilized  by  its  tiddition  to  the  radiant  heat  of 
the  (irate.  See  sectional  view’  and  description  on

Use  of  Grates  in  Houses  Heated  with  Steam. 


IN  planning  for  very  large  houses,  where  it  is  proposed  to 
use  steam  heat,  and  the  most  approved  system  of  indirect 
radiation  is  selected,  owners  sometimes  think  it  unimportant  to 
give  much  thought  as  to  the  part  that  grates  are  to  serve  in  the 
heating  arrangements,  but  conclude  that,  as  they  will  have 
plenty  of  heat  from  the  steam  apparatus,  large,  open,  orna- 
mental fire-places  will  best  meet  their  needs.  A very  grave 
mistake  is  thus  frequently  made.  In  the  first  place,  fire-places 
of  enormous  proportions  are  frequently  built,  which,  when  a fire 
is  started  in  them,  prove  to  lack  sufficient  draught,  and  hence 
they  become  worse  than  useless,  in  fact  a constant  source  of 
discomfort.  And  where  with  such  fire-places  care  has  been 
taken  to  build  also  enormous  flues,  adequate  to  the  demands 
of  the  fire-place,  in  service  such  fire-places  become  immense 
aspirators  of  air  from  the  room  that  create  cold  and  unhealth- 
ful draughts,  with  an  enormous  wastage  of  heat.  Secondly, 
during  the  days  of  variable  temperature  in  the  fall  and  spring, 
grates  of  ordinary  construction  being  at  times  entirely  inade- 
quate for  comfortably  warming  the  apartments,  when  the  steam 
heating  arrangement  is  started,  it  almost  invariably  is  found 
that  the  heat  thus  afforded  is  too  great,  and  discomfort  arises 
from  excessive  temperature,  that  can  only  be  allayed  by  open- 
ing windows  for  the  heat’s  escape.  Just  here  is  manifest  the 
great  utility  of  the  Jackson  Ventilating  Grate,  that  until  winter 
weather  is  fully  established,  and  after  its  intensity  is  past  in  the 
advent  of  spring,  will  thoroughly  heat  and  ventilate  many 
rooms,  and  which  is  easily  controlled,  so  as  to  give  a gentle 
heat,  or  a heat  of  greatest  intensity.  Thus  not  only  is  a saving 
of  fuel  effected  that  soon  pays  for  the  cost  of  the  Grates,  but  a 
perfect  comfort  and  healthfulness  is  secured,  not  otherwise 
attainable.

The  Jackson  Ventilating"  Fire-place. 


RKillTLV  constructed  Fire-places  should  and  can  be  made 
to  lill  three  essential  conditions,  that,  named  in  the  order 
of  their  importance,  are  as  follows  : 

F IRST. — They  should  keep  the  rooms  in  which  they  are  placed  always 
filled  with  pure,  circulating  air.  In  winter  this  air  should  enter  as  a warm 
current,  with  a volume  sufficient  to  change  the  whole  air  contents  of  the 
rooms  at  least  every  half  hour.  This  volume  should  be  adequate  to  fully 
supply  the  e.vhaust  of  the  chimney,  and  thus  to  prevent  any  tendency  to 
draughts  of  chilling  air  from  the  windows,  or  of  impure  air  from  other 
parts  of  the  house,  drawn  under  the  doors. 

Skcom). — I hey  should  be  essentially  heating  apparatuses,  fully  com- 
I)etent  to  thoroughly  warm  the  rooms  in  which  they  are  situated,  without 
the  aid  of  furnace  heat.  To  effect  this  result  they  must  possess  many 
times  the  heating  power  of  ordinary  grates,  seven-eighths  of  whose  heat  is 
wasteii  in  the  chimney. 

1 Miki). — They  should  be  large,  generous  fire-places,  with  their  cheer- 
ing,  healthful,  radiant,  blazing  iires,  as  near  as  may  be  similar  to  the 
famous  fire-places  of  olden  time. 

1 he  fire-phices  most  in  vogtte  now  fill  the  last  condition 
only  — and  in  m;tny  cases  fail  eveti  in  this,  being  often  liable  to 
smoke,  and  deficient  in  power  to  prodtice  a brilliant  fire. 

1 hey  obttiin  their  whole  supply  for  the  chimney  draught 
from  air  drawn  in,  jnercing  cold,  from  around  the  doors  and 
windows,  and  they  produce,  thus,  currents  that  are  detrimental 
to  health.  \\  here  this  is  prevented  by  close  fitting  doors  and 
windows  the  fire-place  must  inevitably  smoke. 

I hey  utterly  fail  to  heat  large  rooms,  since  only  about 
one-eighlh  of  the  whole  heat  product  of  the  fuel  is  utilized 
for  warming  the  room  ; the  rest  being  lost  in  the  brick-work  of 
the  chimney,  or  dissi|)ated  up  and  through  the  chimney  Hue. 

The  Jackson  Hcal-Savtn^  and  V'cntilatin^  Gnitc  lills  all  the 
three  conditions  named.

There  are  two  prominent  objections  to  the  open  fire-place,  and 
to  the  ordinary  form  of  fire-place  grate  ; 

First. — Though  they  are  excellent  agencies  for  removing  the 
air  from  the  lower  level  of  the  room,  they  provide  no  means  for 
supplying  the  vacuum  thus  produced,  and  thus  they  cause  draughts 
of  cold  air  about  the  windows,  and  of  impure  air  from  the  surround- 
ing rooms. 

Second. — They  supply  to  the  rooms  in  which  they  are  placed 
but  a very  small  fraction  of  the  whole  heat  product  of  the  fuel. 
From  the  careful  tests  of  Gen.  Morin,  the  deduction  is  made  “ that 
of  the  heat  generated  by  the  fuel  in  an  ordinary  fire-place,  about 
one-eighth  only  is  utilized  in  the  room.” 

The  Jackson  Heat-Saving  and  Ventilating  Fire-Place  largely 
remedies  both  these  defects.  As  will  be  seen  by  a reference  to  the 
engraving  on  Plate  No.  i,  fresh  air  from  immediate  outdoors  is  taken 
into  a shaft  directly  under  the  grate,  and  enters  a chamber  beneath 
the  fire,  where  it  is  partially  heated,  and  thence  passes  into  chambers 
surrounding  the  back  and  sides  of  the  fire-place,  and  it  conserves  in 
these  the  heat  that  is  usually  lost  in  the  brick-work  of  the  fire-place. 
Passing  thence  forward,  this  now  heated  current  circulates  about  the 
tubular  flues,  five  in  number,  shown  in  the  cut,  which  convey  the 
smoke  to  the  chimney  above.  Finally,  this  heated  air,  which,  it  will 
be  observed,  is  pure  air  from  outside  the  building,  enters  the  room 
through  the  open  frieze  of  the  grate  frame,  and  from  its  levity 
ascends  in  a current  to  the  ceiling.  A double  office  is  thus  fulfilled. 
A very  large  part  of  the  heat  usually  lost  in  the  fire-place  is  con- 
served and  added  to  that  directly  radiated  from  the  fire,  making  the 
grate  equal  in  heating  power  to  over  three  ordinary  grates  of  the 
same  size  ; and  an  amount  of  pure,  warm  air,  equal  to  that  taken 
from  the  room  by  the  exhaust  of  the  chimney,  enters  from  the  heat- 
saving chambers,  and  thus  all  draughts  from  the  windows  and  doors 
are  prevented.  A continually  augmented  volume  of  pure,  warm 
air,  occupying  the  higher  levels  of  the  room,  and  a continual  draught 
being  made  by  the  fire-place  from  the  colder,  impure  air  from  the 
lower  levels,  keeps  up  a constant  atmospheric  circulation,  and  thus 
automatically  the  room  is  thoroughly  ventilated.

base,  sides,  back,  and  Hues  over  the  fire  in  these  grates  (as 
1 shown  on  Plates  Nos.  i and  2),  which  form  the  inner  walls 
of  the  heat-saving  chambers,  present  a radiating  surface  equal  in 
area  to  15-j  superficial  feet  in  the  No.  i and  No.  2 fire-places,

not  taken  up  by  the  inflowing  current  of  pure  air  from  outdoors, 
which  thus  returns  the  heat  to  the  room  in  which  the  grate  is  set 
(if  it  be  a Concord  Grate),  or  to  the  room  above  that  in  which 
the  grate  is  set  (if  it  be  an  Oliver  Grate).  The  heat  thus  con- 
served, as  is  shown  by  the  test  of  the  thermometer  and  anemome- 
ter, is  more  than  ecpial  to  double  the  heat  obtained  from  the 
direct  radiation  of  the  fire.  It  is  obvious  that  this  heat,  thus  util- 
ized, is  entirely  lost  in  the  fire-place  and  the  flue  in  the  ordinary 
form  of  grates.  That  is  to  say,  that  the  fuel  supply  of  an  ordinary 
grate,  when  consumed  in  these  grates,  contributes  to  the  rooms 
for  heating  purposes  more  than  four  times  the  amount  of  heat 
that  the  common  grate  furnishes.  An  ordinary  grate  would  be 
ta.xed  to  its  utmost  capacity  to  comfortably  warm  a room  15  feet 
scpiare,  in  almost  any  of  our  Northern  States  during  the  coldest 
weather  ; and  even  in  such  a small  room  thus  heated,  the  parts 
of  the  room  most  distant  from  the  fire  would  lie  subject  to  chill- 
ing draughts  fri>m  the  doors  and  windows.  These  draughts 
necessarily  are  present  from  the  fact  that  the  exhaust  of  the 
chimney  is  continually  extracting  air  from  the  room,,  which  can 
only  be  replenished  by  the  air  drawn  in  through  the  crevices 
around  the  doors  ;ind  windows.  The  I leat-Saving  Grate  would 
thoroughly  heat  such  a room,  and  also  a room  of  ecpial  size  adjejin- 
ing  it,  or  another  over  it,  and,  in  most  locations,  all  three  such 
rooms.  liesides,  it  would  jireveiit  the  chilling  draughts  alluded 
to,  sine  e it  supiilies  to  the  rooms,  through  the  heat-saving  cham- 
bers, a continuous  stream  of  pure,  warm  air,  always  ecpial  in  vcjl- 
ume  to  that  which  is  taki-n  out  1-v  the  chimnev. 


Ventilating  Effects  of  the  Jackson  Heat- 
Savinof  and  Ventilating'  Grate. 

An  open  fire-place  in  a room,  connected  with  a heated  flue,  or 
a flue  adjoining  a heated  flue,  is  almost  always  an  aspirator 
of  the  air  of  the  room.  Even  when  there  is  no  fire  in  the  fire- 
place the  test  of  a lighted  roll  of  paper  will  show,  by  the  inclina- 
tion of  the  flame  towards  the  ascending  flue,  the  existence  of  an 
outpouring  current  of  air  through  the  flue.  When  a fire  is  made 
in  the  fire-place  the  volume  of  this  exhaust  of  the  chimney  is, 
obviously,  largely  increased.  According  to  the  estimates  of  Gen- 
eral Morin,  a blazing  fire  in  an  open  fire-place  may  take  from  the 
room  nearly  40,000  cubic  feet  of  air  per  hour,  or,  in  other  words, 
it  will  empty  a large  room  every  fifteen  minutes.  So  rapid  is  the 
ascending  current  of  outgoing  air  that  it  carries  with  it  the  smoke 
and  soot,  and  even  small  bits  of  the  burning  fuel.  But  the  rush- 
ing from  the  room  of  such  an  immense  volume  of  air  necessarily 
implies  the  entrance  into  the  room  through  some  inlets  of  an 
equal  volume  of  air  from  outside  sources.  When  the  ordinary 
form  of  grate  is  used  this  inflowing  air  enters  cold  (if  directly 
from  outdoors),  or  not  devoid  of  impurities  (if  from  the  adjoin- 
ing halls).  (See  Plate  No.  24  for  cause  of  chilling  draughts.) 
But  a more  serious  defect  in  the  ventilating  offices  of  the  ordi- 
nary grate  is,  that  this  incoming  volume  of  air,  being  cold,  occu- 
pies the  lower  lev'els  of  the  room,  and  passes  in  a current  mainly 
towards  the  fire-place,  and  thence  up  the  chimney,  whilst  the 
breath  and  exhalations  from  the  bodies  of  the  inmates  of  the 
rooms,  being  warmer,  ascend  to  the  higher  levels,  and  mix  with 
the  air  above  the  breathing  line.  In  the  Ventilating  Grate,  as 
shown  on  Plate  No.  23,  the  air  entering  to  replace  that  exhausted 
by  the  chimney  comes  in  with  a temperature  much  higher  than 
that  of  the  breath  or  other  impurities  ; hence,  the  latter  fall  to 
the  lower  levels,  and  are  constantly  being  carried  off  by  the  flue, 
whilst  the  pure,  outdoor  air,  heated  before  its  entrance,  floods  the 
room  from  above,  and  supplies  an  ever-changing,  healthful  atmos- 
phere to  all  parts  of  the  room  except  very  near  the  floor.  And  at 
all  points  of  the  room,  there  being  no  cold  air  currents,  the  tern, 
perature  is  exceedingly  uniformly  maintained.

1 Icat-Saving-  and  Ventilating  Grate. 


[Rcpriiil  from  llie  Report  of  the  State  Board  of  Health  of  New  Hampshire.] 

“ olden  lime  fire-place  had  its  peculiar  advantages  in 

1 \entilating  the  tipartments  in  which  they  were  situated  ; 
and  no  one  will  tlispute  that  they  still  have  an  attractive  appear- 
ance, its  well  as  a charming  influence  in  the  family  circle 
wherever  they  are  to  he  found.  The  only  objection  is  and  has 
been,  they  are  expensive,  as  they  are  great  consumers  of  fuel, 
tind  much  of  the  heat  generated  within  their  glowing  sides  is 
lost  by  being  ctirried  up  the  flue  with  the  air  which  they  remove 
from  the  room. 

.Mechanics  and  practical  men  have  for  a long  time  been 
pondering  over  the  jiroblem  how  the  fire-place  of  our  fathers 
could  be  restored  in  principle,  and  economy  in  fuel  maintained 
at  a minimum  of  expense. 

“ The  o[)en  grate  has  always  been  a favorite  in  our  homes, 
and  it  is  only  because  in  the  ordinary  form  it  is  such  a great 
consumer  of  fuel  and  so  feeble  in  its  heating  capacity  that  it 
has  been  supjilaiited  by  other  and  more  economical  kinds  of 
heating  apparatus. 

“ Mr.  Rdwin  A.  Jackson,  of  New  York,  has  placed  before  the 
public  a fire-place  and  grate,  combined  in  such  a manner  as  to 
give  it  superior  healing  jiower  and  perfect  ventilating  capacity. 

“ In  perfecting  this  most  e.xcellent  device  to  meet  the  requi- 
site conditions  to  render  our  homes  comfortable  and  healthful, 
the  designer  has  rendered  valuable  service  to  the  people,  for  he 
has  so  far  remodeled  the  ordinary  grate  that  a large  jiercentage 
of  the  heat  ( an  be  saved,  and  at  the  same  lime  preserve  the 
chimney  flue  for  ventilating  purposes.”

Sewer  Gas — Bad  Ventilation. 


The  antidote  of  Sewer  Gas  is  plenty  of  fresh  air.  We  probably 
never  shall  have  the  plumbing  of  houses  so  perfectly  done  that 
our  homes  shall  be  entirely  proof  against  the  introduction  of  danger- 
ous exhalations  from  the  waste-pipes  or  sewers  into  them.  But  these 
and  all  other  unhealthful  contaminations  of  the  air  in  rooms  may  be 
rendered  harmless  by  the  frequent  changing  of  the  atmosphere  in 
them  practicable  in  a proper  system  of  ventilation.  That  only  is  a 
proper  system  of  ventilation  which  introduces  at  one  point  and  takes 
out  from  another  a sufficient  volume  of  air  to  maintain  in  the  room 
a constant  circulation  of  pure  atmosphere. 

Such  incoming  current  must  be  warmer  than  the  natural 
temperature  of  the  body,  else  chilling  drafts  are  perceptible  by  the 
discomfort  they  give.  An  ordinary  grate  has  this  objectionable  feat- 
ure, and  though  otherwise  excellent  for  its  sanitary  effects,  this 
great  defect  must  be  counted  against  it.  But  since  health  is  far 
more  important  than  thoroughly  warmed  rooms,  if  nothing  better 
for  ventilating  purposes  can  be  found,  wisdom  would  demand  its 
use  in  every  home. 

But  such  a defect  is  due  alone  to  the  improper  construction  of 
the  grate.  The  Jackson  Ventilating  Grate,  as  shown  on  Plate  No. 
24,  admits  pure  air  from  outdoors,  thoroughly  heated,  by  what  in 
ordinary  grates  is  wasted  heat,  and  produces  a circulation  of  pure, 
warm  air  in  the  room  that  is  health-sustaining,  and  in  every  way 
conducive  to  comfort.

I S 


The  reports  of  the  viirious  Boards  of  Health  show  that  every 
cold  wave  that  sweej)s  over  our  country  in  winter  is  attended 
by  a startlini^  increase  in  the  death-rate  from  Scarlet  Fever, 
1 )iphtheria,  and  idlied  diseases.  This  direful  condition  of  affairs 
is  largely,  if  lujt  entirely,  due  to  the  fact  that  the  tightly  closed 
doors  and  windows,  which  cold  weather  necessitates,  prevent  that 
imi)ortant  ventilation  of  houses  that  is  positively  essential  to  the 
maintenance  of  health.  Houses  richly  adorned  and  most  elabo- 
rately furnished  with  all  the  conveniences  and  elegance  that  skill- 
ful workmanshij)  can  jiroduce  ; houses  upon  which  the  wealth  of 
the  possesses  has  been  lavished  without  stint,  for  the  purpose  of 
making  them  comfortable  and  enjoyable,  are,  from  lack  of  proper 
sanitary  provisions,  ever  subject  to  the  entrance  of  preventable 
<liseases,  that  bring  sickness  and  death  in  their  train.  The  very 
skill  ot  the  wcmkumn  in  making  houses  proof  against  the  cold 
winds  from  without,  htis  but  iidded  to  the  danger  of  the  entrance 
of  disease.  And  this  is  all  due  to  the  fact  that,  in  the  building 
and  furnishing  of  the  house,  little  or  no  care  has  been  taken  to 
provide  ever)-  room  with  a full  and  constantly  changing  supply  of 
air — that  shall  steadily  enter  from  outdoors,  and  as  steadily  pass 
out  again  as  it  becomes  unlit  for  breathing  purposes.  To  a cer- 
tain e.xtent  this  is  attained  where  furnace  or  indirect  steam  heat  is 
supplied  in  liberal  (piantity  ;it  a low  temi>erature,  and  where  there 
is  likewise  an  oiien  tire  in  the  room  to  carry  out  the  vitiated  air. 
The  Heat-Saving  and  X'entilating  (Bate  will  furnish  this  health- 
sustaining  snpiily  of  so  vitally  important  air  to  every  room,  forc- 
ing it  into  the  r<iom  in  a jiure  warm  current,  and  taking  it  out  as 
it  becomes  \ itiated  Irom  the  lower  h-vels  of  the  room,  thus  main- 
taining i-ver,  not  only  a warmth  that  shall  be  comfortable  to  the 
body,  but  a condition  of  health  without  which  there  can  be  no 
comtort.  .See  reading  matter  on  Plates  No.  24  and  No.  25.

Methods  of  Ventilation. 


Air  is  moved  only  by  inequalities  of  temperature.  Wherever 
it  comes  in  contact  with  a heat-imparting  body,  it  expands 
and  immediately  rises,  giving  place  to  other  and  colder  air,  which 
in  its  turn  expands  and  rises.  Thus  every  heated  body  becomes 
a motor  that  constantly  maintains  a circulation  of  the  atmosphere 
about  it.  In  our  dwellings  our  bodies  thus  act  upon  the  air,  and 
with  the  ascending  currents,  caused  by  them,  rise  the  breath  and 
other  exhalations.  Rut  the  heat  thus  imparted  is  soon  given  up 
to  the  surrounding  air,  and  the  current  quickly  loses  its  upward 
motion,  and  being  of  greater  density  because  of  its  impurities,  it 
changes  to  a downward  movement.  The  most  vitiated  air  will 
therefore  be  found  nearest  the  floor.  The  former  custom  of  plac- 
ing ventilators  near  the  ceiling  was  therefore  a most  egregious 
blunder,  and  this  was  especially  so  when  the  rooms  were  heated 
by  hot-air  furnaces,  which  continually  forced  into  them  warmed, 
pure  outdoor  air — in  that  this  pure  warmed  air,  and  not  the 
vitiated  air,  would  be  that  which  escaped  through  such  ventilators. 
The  fact  is,  the  exhaust  needs  to  be  at  tlie  bottom  of  the  room  in- 
stead of  the  top.  That  system  of  ventilation  is  the  correct  and 
perfect  one  which  supplies  the  room  at  the  ceiling  with  pure  air, 
heated  above  the  temperature  of  our  breath,  and  which  e.xhausts, 
from  a point  near  the  level  of  the  floor,  an  equal  amount  of  the 
colder  air  always  to  be  found  there,  and  which  would  in  such  a 
system  always  contain  the  almost  entire  products  of  respiration 
and  other  impurities  usual  to  inhabited  rooms.  How  shall  this 
be  effected  ? Placing  near  the  floor  ventilators,  such  as  have  been 
used  at  the  ceiling,  would  not  exhaust  air,  but  admit  cold  air, 
unless  such  ventilators  opened  into  heated  flues,  the  heat  in  which 
would  induce  outward  and  upward  currents  through  the  flue.  A 
hot-air  furnace,  working  as  described  above,  and  an  ojien  grate, 
with  a good  fire  therein  to  exhaust  the  air  from  the  level  of  the 
floor,  would  perfectly  do  the  work  ; but  it  would  be  an  expensive 
arrangement,  and  wasteful  of  heat.  That  apparatus  only  is  pro- 
perly constructed  which  combines  the  operations  of  the  two  in 
itself.  A glance  at  the  construction  and  workings  of  the  \'en- 
tilating  Grate,  as  described  on  Plate  No.  23,  will  demonstrate 
how  admirably  this  has  been  effected.

HEATING  A RESIDENCE  WITH  THE  JACKSON  VENTILATING  GRATE. 


“THE  CHEAPEST  OF  ALL  GOOD  SYSTEMS  OF  HEATING  ” 


The  principle  applied  in  these  grates  is  the  same  as  that  of  the 
furnace,  combined  with  the  direct  radiation  of  the  open  fire.  The 
grate  is,  practically,  a furnace  set  directly  in  the  room.  There  is 
not  the  immense  loss  of  heat  in  the  cellar  and  in  the  ascending  hot 
air  pipe,  and  because  of  this  saving,  these  grates  will  heat  a resi- 
dence with  two-thirds  the  fuel  of  a furnace.  They  will  heat  a home 
with  less  fuel  than  any  other  good  system.  One  grate  will  heat 
about  7,000  cubic  feet  of  space,  or  two  or  three  rooms  of  ordinary 
size.  Thus,  a residence  of  say  eight  rooms  will  take  three  Oliver 
grates,  costing  14.00.  A good  furnace  would  cost  this  much  or 
more,  and  with  the  grates  there  is  an  immense  saving  of  fuel  each 
year.  And  also,  the  cheer  and  comfort  of  open  fires  are  secured. 
Send  us  sketch  plan  of  your  residence  that  we  may  give  estimate  of 
number  of  grates  needed,  and  reports  of  the  success  of  our  grates 
as  entire  heating  apparatus. 

Mr.  J.  Albert  Williams  (Merchant)  wrote  from  Washington, 
Iowa  : 

“ Our  two  parlors  on  the  northwest  side  of  the  house  ( a frame 
dwelling  without  double  sash),  with  large  bay  windows,  are 
heated  by  one  of  the  Grates,  our  Dining-room  and  rooms  over 
it,  also  the  Reception  hall,  by  another  one,  and  the  Sitting-room 
and  an  adjoining  Chamber  by  the  third  Grate.  The  Grates 
heat  the  house  so  well  we  have  given  up  the  idea  of  putting 
in  a furnace.” 


Dr.  E.  E.  Peters,  of  Wrightsville,  111.,  has  two  Oliver  grates  to 
heat  his  residence.  One  in  the  parlor,  12x16,  heats  also  a bedroom 
12x14  '’ri  second  floor,  a dressing-room  6x9  on  second  floor,  and  upper 
and  lower  halls,  each  6.6x14  ft.  The  grate  in  dining-room,  14  ft. 
4 in.  by  14  ft.  6 in.,  heats  also  a bedroom  on  second  floor  i i ft.  2 in. 
by  12  ft.,  a dressing-room  6 ft.  3 in.  by  8 ft.  on  second  floor,  and  a 
bedroom  i 2 ft.  by  i 3 ft.  on  second  floor.  There  is  no  other  heating 
apparatus  in  house,  and  in  February  28,  1895,  after  that  severely 
cold  winter,  Mrs.  Peters  wrote  : 

“ We  think  our  grates  the  grandest  heaters  on  earth,  making 
our  home  delightfully  warm,  bright  and  cozy." 

THE  HIGHEST  AWARD  AT  THE  WORLD’S 
FAIR,  1893,  WAS  SECURED  AS  FOLLOWS!

No.  32  BACK. 


The  Latest  Improvement  in  the 

Ventilating  Grates  is  in  the  No.  32 
back.  This,  as  will  be  seen  by  re- 
ferring to  sketch,  differs  from  the  old 
back  in  that  the  part  above  the  fire 
surface  slopes  forward  instead  of  going 
up  straight  to  smoke  Hues.  The  dif- 
ference in  front  appearance  is  shown 
in  comparing  plate  No.  32  opposite 
and  plate  No.  103  on  back  cover.  The 
gain  is  mainly  in  the  radiation  in  the 
lower  room,  the  slanting  surface  re- 
flecting the  heat  that  is  partly  lost  in 
the  older  back. 

A Curtain  Blower  is  attached  to  this  back,  being  designated  by 
the  letter  E.  This  should  be  pulled  out  when  the  fire  is  started^ 
acting  as  a blower  and  hood.  No  portable  or  sheet  iron  blower, 
which  is  furnished  with  the  other  .form,  should  be  used  with  this 
grate.  When  pushed  back  the  curtain  blower  acts  as  a “ check- 
draft,”  regulating  the  current  passing  up  the  chimney.  It  will  not 
get  out  of  order  nor  wear  out  in  many  years. 


23 


A Shaking  Bottom  can  be  adapted  to  this  grate,  although  we 
advise  that  the  regular  bottom  be  used.  There  is  no  shaking  bot- 
tom adapted  to  open  grates  that  will  not  at  times  be  “ locked  " by  a 
piece  of  coal  or  clinker,  and  although  we  believe  our  patent  to  be 
the  best  we  do- not  consider  it  perfect.  The  grate  may  have  ashpit 
or  ashpan  connection  as  preferred,  but  in  all  cases,  where  possible, 
we  advise  the  use  of  ashpit.  It  is  a great  convenience  and  pre- 
vention of  dust. 

The  Operation  of  the  grate  is  shown  in  sketch  : A is  the  pure 
air  inlet,  sending  air  to  the  chamber  B,  passing  on  the  way  over  the 
hot  air  surfaces  of  the  grate  back.  Being  warm,  it  escapes 
through  the  register  C,  in  the  lower  room,  or  in  the  Oliver  pattern, 
goes  through  the  hot  air  pipe  1)  to  the  upper  room. 

The  draft  of  the  fire  is  supplied  at  K,  being  the  cold  and  impure 
air  of  the  room.  Passing  under  the  curtain  blower  Ig  and  through 
the  smoke  vents  F,  the  gases  and  smoke  go  up  the  flue,  around  the 
hot. air  pipe.  When  the  Concord  pattern  is  used,  there  is  no  con- 
nection for  hot  air  pipe. 

Desi.gns  Nos.  31  and  32  may  be  had  with  this  back,  for  the 
present,  in  No.  i size  only,  in  any  finish,  in  Oliver  or  Concord  pat- 
tern. No  other  designs  can  be  fitted  to  this  back  without  extra  cost.

TT  is  the  experience  of  all  who  use  grates  connected  with  ash-pits, 
that,  unless  the  masonry  of  the  pits  is  unusually  well  constructed, 
so  that  there  is  an  entire  absence  of  crevices  in  the  brick-work,  and 
the  door  below  is  particularly  well  fitted,  an  intolerable  nuisance  of 
dust  and  ashes  is  experienced  whenever  the  fire  is  raked.  This  arises 
from  the  fact  that  when  hot  ashes  are  dropped  into  the  cold  air  of  the 
jiit,  an  upward  current  is  started,  which,  drawing  its  supply  through 
every  minute  oiiening  of  the  ash-pit,  creates  a decided  draught  that 
wafts  the  ashes  into  the  room  above,  depositing  dust  upon  objects  sur- 
rounding the  grate. 

'J'o  prevent  this  upward  escape  of  dust  entirely,  even  from  the  most 
carelessly  constructed  ash-pits,  the  J.\ckson  Asii-Trap,  a sketch  of 
which  is  appended,  has  been  invented. 

It  consists,  as  is  shown,  of  a rectangular  box,  the  bottom  of  which 
fils  obliquely  upon  it,  and  is  adjusted  by  a pivoted  hinge  A,  being  so 
arranged  that,  by  a slight  pressure  with  a poker  on  the  projection  B, 


the  bottom,  or  valve,  is  withdrawn  from  under  the  ashes,  and  assumes 
the  position  shown  by  the  dotted  lines,  and  when  the  pressure  is 
removed  from  B the  valve  instantaneously  closes,  excluding  all  dust 
from  the  room.  The  action  is  “ as  quick  as  a wink,”  requires  the 
slightest  pressure  only,  and  never  fails  to  be  effective. 

The  Traps  are  constructed  to  fit  the  Jackson  Ventilating 
Grates,  and  can  be  placed  in  any  of  them  in  a few  moments  by  simply 
taking  out  the  screws  from  the  sifter,  removing  it  from  the  base  of  the 
grate  and  inserting  the  trap  in  its  place — requiring  no  mechanical  skill 
whatever. 

For  use  in  any  other  fire-place  where  ordinary  grates  are  in 
service,  a border  is  supplied  for  holding  the  trap  securely  over  the 
mouth  of  the  ash-pit. 

The  price  of  the  ash-trap,  securely  packed  for  transportation  by 
Express,  is,  when  used  with  the  Jackson  Ventilating  Grates,  $i  .35. 

When  adapted  for  other  grates,  $1.50.

Spark  Guards. 


FO  R protection 
against  fire  that 
may  be  occasioned  by 
the  sparks  that  are 
frequently  thrown 
from  wood  fires,  es- 
pecially those  of 
hickory  or  pine  wood, 
also  against  children 
setting  their  clothes 
on  fire  when  platdng 
near  the  grate,  also 
for  providing  an  ab- 
solute sense  of  secu- 
rity when  fires  are  left 
burning  over  night, 
we  make  a Spark 
Guard,  as  shown  in 
the  annexed  cut,  clos- 
ing the  entire  opening  of  the  grate  with  a screen  of  wire  cloth 
(y\  inch  mesh),  which,  being  heavily  brass  bound,  is  durable  and  of  suffi- 
cient weight  to  sit  firmly  against  the  grate.  These  are  sold  in  japanned 
wire  cloth,  ornamented  with  polished  brass  handles,  etc.,  for  $4.00  ; in 
nickel-plated  wire  cloth  for  $6.00;  in  brass  wire  cloth,  $8.00. 


Mantel  Protectors. 


TV T O mantel  properly  made  needs  protection  against  a grate  fire,  as 
-f  ’ the  heating  power  of  the  grate  should  be  in  no  wise  hampered. 
Still,  mantels  of  wood  are  sometimes  made  to  overhang  the  fire  in  such 
proximity  as  to  be  scorched  or  blistered  by  the  radiant  heat.  To  pre- 


vent this  we  make  a mantel  protector,  which  is  in  the  form  of  a shelf 
and  brackets  (as  shown  in  the  above  cut).  This  is  readily  put  on  any 
of  our  grates  by  slightly  withdrawing  the  screws  at  each  corner  of  the 
frame  at  the  top  sufficiently  to  allow  the  hooks  on  the  mantel  protector 
to  slip  back  of  the  frame  of  the  grate. 

These  protectors  are  ornamental,  and  add  to  rather  than  detiact 
from  the  beaut}'  of  the  grate.  The}'  are  made  in  o.xidizcd  iron  (dead 
black  in  appearance)  for  1^4.50  ; in  nickel  plate  for  $5.00  ; in  solid  brass 
(polished  shelf  and  chased  brackets),  $10.00.

For  Setting  Tiles. 

IN  places  remote  from  tlie  larp^er  cities  it  is  frequently  difficult  to  find  a mason  who  has  had  experience  in  setting  tiles,  and  who  knows  how  to 
put  up  tile  facings.  To  meet  such  cases  we  have  adopted  the  plan  of  setting  the  tiles  in  iron  frames,  especially  made  for  t'.ie  purpose,  as 
shown  in  the  engraving  on  the  left.  These  have  a flange  or  turned-up  edge  that  retains  the  tiles  in  position,  until  they  are  securely  embedded  in 
])laster  of  paris,  which  in  the  form  of  a thin  mortar  is  poured  through  the  openings  shown  in  the  cut.  When  the  mortar  solidifies,  it  keys  the 
tiles  and  the  frame  together  as  a solid  piece. 

The  advantages  of  setting  tiles  in  this  way  are,  (ist)  that  a good,  straight  and  smooth  job  is  always  assured  ; (2d)  the  facings  can  be  set  in 
the  mantel  in  a few  minutes  by  any  one  not  skilled  in  tile  work  ; (3d)  the  tiles  thus  set  are  permanently  set,  whilst  those  set  in  the  ordinary  way 
are,  frecpiently,  soon  loosened  by  the  expansion  and  contraction  of  the  brick-work  surrounding  the  fire,  on  which  they  rest.
